Highest Selling Song of All Time
Highest Selling Song of All Timeにまつわる役立つ知識を分かりやすく発信ます。
You know the second highest-selling song? It’s “Candle in the Wind 1997” by Elton John. That version sold over 33 million copies. Elton rewrote his 1973 hit to honor Princess Diana after her death.
It became the fastest-selling single ever in the UK and US. Over 150,000 copies flew off shelves in the first day alone. People bought it like they were buying bread during a snowstorm.
Fun fact: Elton performed it live only once—at Diana’s funeral. He never sings it in concert. It’s a “one-and-done” masterpiece.

The Third Spot: A Surprise from Latin America
Third place belongs to “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee. This 2017 banger sold over 33 million units globally. It’s the first Spanish-language song to hit this high.
The secret? That catchy “Despacito” chorus is impossible to forget. Plus, Justin Bieber jumped on a remix. Suddenly, everyone from grandmas to toddlers was singing about “slowly.”
Irony alert: The song’s producers promised it would be a “summer hit.” It ended up being the summer of all summers—and every season after.
